someting tells me hevi #7s are going to be a popular suggestion now 3" or 3.5" not to worried about recoil just would rather have what should perform better

3 1/2" Hevi-13 7's  is my recommendation with a 660 rhino and I would definitely recommend a Limbsaver to go with them.  Tamed the 3 1/2's down to a 20 guage dove load in my gun.

A big yes on the Limbsaver best thing you can do to help enjoy the recoil.

you can get the limbsavers in a pre fit pad for your rig, that is the way i would go, and also h13 7's in a 3 and half. :welcomeOG:
